A young med student takes his eyes off the road and hits a group of campers, They seem to be having car trouble to, so they go off and look for a phone and come across a cabin home to three cannibal brothers disfigured from generations of inbreeding.

Carly: I think if you ever want to get in my pants again... Scott: Affirmative. Carly: ...this is the last time you use the "e" word. Okay?

Chris: Thank you, take care. Old Man: You're the one who's gonna need to take care.

Chris: Your phone isn't working sir, do you have another I could use? Old Man: Long distance? Chris: Uhm... what isn't long distance from here? Old Man: You cuttin' wise with me, son? Chris: No sir, it's just... I'm running behind and I really need to make a call. Old Man: Well that there's my only phone. Chris: Right. The highway's jammed up pretty bad, do you know of another route heading south? Old Man: Nope. Chris: [consults a map on the wall] Say, why's this Bear Mountain Road a dotted line? Old Man: Dirt. Chris: Dirt road? Old Man: Bet they ain't even got around to paving it yet. Chris: Looks like it runs into the highway about fifteen, twenty miles. Is that right? Old Man: If you say so. Chris: Thank you very much sir, you take care. [Chris gets in his car, and drives off] Old Man: You're the one who's gonna need to take care.

The female lead character, Jesse Burlingame, was named after the heroine in Stephen King's novel, "Gerald's Game".

In the scene when the four are running from the cabin after awaking the mountain men, Desmond Harrington broke his right ankle after landing on the opposite side of a log. This made it very difficult to shoot some of the scenes after his left leg is "shot" and he has to limp on his right leg.

The promotion for this film was minimal due to the MPAA deeming the majority of TV Spots and Trailers "Too Intense" for the viewers. Even the commercials that were shown, were heavily trimmed.

During one of the last scenes in the movie, Eliza Dushku actually set actor Julian Richings (Three Finger) on fire.
